[FFmpeg-user] Licensing rules

[Avitrr Aparnesh]

Hello,
We are developing a video ingestion,live-stream, playback, and analytics service. We are planning to use FFmpeg as a core component of our video encoding pipeline.
Our system will involve live streaming from various cameras, storing the video data (potentially on-premise or on cloud), and enabling features like video playback and advanced analytics.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could provide information on the following:

  *   FFmpeg Licensing:
     *   What are the licensing terms and conditions for using FFmpeg in our commercial video service?
     *   Are there any specific restrictions or limitations related to our use case?
  *   Obtaining a License:
     *   How can we obtain the necessary licenses for commercial use of FFmpeg in our code/product?
Thanks and regards
